This week's Top Ten Tuesday topic is a freebie and I thought I would take advantage of the opportunity to share my Top Ten Favorite Covers of Books I Read in 2022. While a cover generally will not be the sole reason I read a book, it often can be the reason I take a closer look to see if it is a book I want to read. This past year actually was underwhelming for me in terms of cover art that stood out of the books I read, but here are my top ten favorites. These particularly caught my eye either because of the design, colors, simplicity, or detail.
Marion Lane and the Deadly Rose (#2) by T.A. Willberg
A Botanist's Guide to Parties and Poisons (#1) by Kate Khavari
The Girl with the Louding Voice by Abi Dare
Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes
Amari and the Night Brothers (#1) by B.B. Alston
Last night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo
The Book of Old Cases by Simone St. James
The Witch Haven (#1) by Sasha Peyton Smith
The Maid by Nita Prose
Bait and Witch (Witch Way Librarian #1) by Angela M. Sanders

I actually just ordered Amari and the Night Brothers. It doesn't only have a great cover but I've seen some really good 5 star reviews for it.
ReplyDeleteKathryn - I hope you love it when you read it! Thank you for visiting.
DeleteI love the last cover because it's super adorable and actually has books on it!
ReplyDeleteStephanie - That one is such a fun cover, isn't it? Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteThe Girl With the Louding Voice sounds really good. And, yeah, these are all great covers.

Lydia - It was my top read last year. Thank you for visiting!
DeleteThese are wonderful. I don't think I realized how clever the cover of The Maid is until you made me take a second look.

I do like a nice cover, though I've noticed that large-print books often have 'not so good' covers, even if the original cover is great. Wonder why they change them so often? Anyway, I read The Book of Cold Cases and have The Maid on my Kindle. And I have A Botanist's Guide To Parties and Poisons on hold at the library. Like all those covers.
ReplyDeleteKay - I wish I knew why that is. I hope you like The Maid and A Botanist's Guide to Parties and Poisons when you read them. Thank you for visiting!
DeleteGreat topic! I can also be drawn in by a great cover!
ReplyDeleteCindy - Thank you!
DeleteThese are pretty amazing covers! I read and loved both Dead Silence and The Girl With the Louding Voice. Oh, and The Maid, too. :D
ReplyDeleteLark - I enjoyed those three too. :-) Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteI'm with you, a book's cover is often the reason I will pick up a book to read the synopsis.

ReplyDeleteWendy - I really like that one too. Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteThey're all very eye-catching, so I can see why they stood out to you. I've read three of these: AMARI AND THE NIGHT BROTHERS, THE MAID, and THE BOOK OF COLD CASES. THE MAID was one of my favorite reads of 2022!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
